China is working on three industry standards for solar power generation, state media reports. The new standards will focus on the "fundamentals, components and materials, generation systems and technological design", Li Aixian, Director of the Sub-Institute of Resource and Environment Standardization of the China National Institute of Standardization, was quoted as saying. So far, there are 15 national standards for the solar water-heating sector. China sees itself as one of the leading manufacturers of photovoltaic cells. However, exports of solar generation products are still subsidised to make them profitable.
